Abstract
A switching apparatus for an interior light in a motor vehicle allows a user to set a delay period from the time when an off command was issued to a room light in the motor vehicle to the time when the light is actually turned off. The switching apparatus turns on and off a room light R in the motor vehicle. The switching apparatus comprises a limit switch 1 for issuing the off command to the room light R when a door is opened, a delay circuit 3 for generating a delay period from the time when the off command as issued to the light R to the time when the light R is to be turned off, and a regulator 4 for regulating the delay period generated by the delay circuit 3. It is possible for the user to set a desired lighting period by regulating the delay period, giving the motor vehicle high quality and versatility.
